Chose to focus on your partner positive side rather than capitalizing on her uncooperative period to hit him or her below the belt. When you focus more on the positive side of your relationship, your relationship will be stronger and you’ll be able to really appreciate one another’s effort.

When there is need for face-to-face emotional conversation, put your phone away from you

Research shows that when your phone is with you during face-to-face emotional and deeply concerned conversation, your partner will be less satisfied during that important conversation. Why? – Because the moment your partner realizes that your phone is by your side or on the table, it sends him or her the message that your attention can be called away at any moment during that conversation, that’s not good because, it can create a kind of divided attention when you’re supposed to totally focused on what you’re being discussed.

When your partner raises complaint, don’t try to defend yourself

It is an easy way out of trying to avoid what should even be talked about. If you say No, I didn’t, what that basically mean is that you’re right and your partner is wrong and that’s when the argument get started, everyone is claiming to be right and if care is not taken, it can goes beyond just little thing you can easily talked over.

What you should do instead is to put on an attitude with something like; “Even though I feel that I’m doing my best, I see that you are still not happy. Because I care about you, I want to understand what you need and will try and make it better.” This is not giving in, kowtowing to the other person, but being a sensitive, reasonable adult.
